I do believe 150 is accurate, possible 160, but shouldn't be more. and it's only 60 from airport to udon locations. these rates posted across from arrival hall at limo desk.

the only negative, if you are the only passenger going to nong khai, they may not make the trip, as it wouldn't be profitable. but an offer of 500 baht would make it profitable, 300 for fuel, 200 for driver. don't think anyone would turn that down. if they won't take you at 150 rate, try that. if they say no, hoping you'll break down, imply you'll just get a cheap hotel (top mansion) and take the train the next day. they will think you are experienced, no need to rush and take the 500 baht, as the alternative would only cost you less than 400 baht, and thy would recieve zip.

To be clear, if you go to the limo window just right of the exit doors, the clerk there will sell you a ticket for the Thai Airways To be clear, if you go to the limo window just right of the exit doors, the clerk there will sell you a ticket for the Thai Airways limo, which is a minibus. The ticket is only about 150 bath.

Let the driver know that you are going to the Friendship Bridge, and he will drop you off at the Friendship Bridge bus station, where you can catch another bus or an inexpensive tuk-tuk for the very short ride to the bridge.
